“I still think he’s one of the best coaches in this league and as we change our culture at Washington State we have to compete with those in our conference and around the country to build stability and consistency,” Moos said according to the Spokesman-Review. “I like to be forward thinking in that regard and proactive. Not that I’m worried about losing Mike but I also don’t want to get complacent and not be on top of the market.”

The Cougars have nine games during Leach’s two seasons at the school, the football program’s best two-year win total since winning 11 in 2006-07.

I am certainly not a fan of the Cougs (I am a Husky). But a good WSU team is good for the Pac 12 and good for football in our state. I think Leach is perfect for Wazzu. Both of our State schools are fighting to get back to respectability in football. I wish WSU the best – just not at the expense of my beloved Huskies.
